To Volunteer for the above:
Contact the person for each event (9 am - 5 pm) & mention that you are from SFC.  Call early! - dates, locations, contacts and phone numbers change.

Reminder: Most of the volunteer events are open to the general public, so these are NOT "singles only" opportunities.  It is important to wear your SFC pins so that our SFC buddies and other singles can find each other at a volunteer event.

If you are unable to fulfill your volunteering commitments:
We would appreciate all members and non-members notifying the contact person for an event as early as possible.  Failure to do so is a negative reflection on Singles for Charities. We take pride in our volunteers... and in our reliability.
